‘Hang in there, young lady’ At 110, Carmel woman likely oldest in Indiana

By Pete Smith • pete@youarecurrent.com After celebrating her 110th birthday on Sept. 21, it’s likely that long-time Carmel resident Ruth Reeves is the oldest person in record holder Indiana.

Reeve was born in the tiny town of Denton, Neb., in 1903, the fourth of Wilbur and Ida Reeve’s five children.

Those were lean times out on the plains, and after a failed homesteading attempt, her father supported the family by delivering milk, running the town’s telephone office, working as a barber and acting as the local postmaster.

Ruth often rode to school in a horse-drawn cart, but she hads fond memories of being allowed to ride in the first car that arrived in Denton, her daughter Ila Badger, said.

She married a month shy of her 18th birthday and had two daughters before she was widowed at age 32 in the height of the Great Depression. At the time of her husband Pete Scott’s death she was earning $8 per week.

She eventually remarried in 1937, moved her family to Iowa and gave birth to her third daughter, Ila (Reeve) Badger.

Her second husband, Frank Reeve, moved the family to Indiana after obtaining a job in South Bend with Eli Lilly. After Ila Badger and her husband, Jack Badger, relocated to Carmel in 1968, Ruth and Frank Reeve followed them two years later.

Unfortunately, Ruth was widowed a second time in 1971.

Through the good times and the hard, Reeve credited her faith as being her foundation.

“She was a quiet servant of God,” Ila Badger said of her mother, a lifelong Methodist and member of Carmel United Methodist Church.

Reeve never stopped working and even wrote and maintained her own checking account until she was 102. She also enjoyed playing bridge and dedicating her time to volunteer work.

“She was a great cook,” Badger said. “She made the best chicken and noodles you ever tasted.”

But the long years of serving other people took a quiet toll. When asked what the greatest invention

of her lifetime was, she has consistently deemed the washing machine to be the winner.

She credits walking, faith and healthy eating for her longevity. Reeve has lived the past 23 years at ManorCare Assisted Living of Summer Trace, but she could be seen walking to Meijer for groceries past the age of 100.

Good genetics likely play a part as well. Reeve’s grandmother lived into her 80s, her mother lived to be 93 and her two oldest daughters, Phyllis and Janet, are 91 and 80 years old respectively.

Now at 110, Reeve is mostly deaf and can see very little due to macular degeneration. But her mind is still there and she said that she feels no pain.

During her birthday party, other Summer Trace residents were overheard congratulating her and telling her to, “hang in there, young lady.”

When her daughter told her that she was now 110 years old, Reeve replied, “Oh, I don’t think so.”

DVD review “The Croods” was pretty typical of this year’s crop of animated family films. Pleasant enough, great-looking and featuring a catchy song or two, it nonetheless didn’t offer anything that was especially engaging or clever. Designed to entertain wee ones with lots of bouncy slapstick action and cute critters, it accomplished exactly that, and little more. Read more at currentnightandday.com.

Andy Ray

The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office received positive confirmation on the identity of the human remains found in Montgomery County in May 2013. DNA testing of the remains was able to identify the remains as those of Ennis Craig Roberts of Carmel. Roberts had been reported missing since November 1996. John D. Smith provided information on the location of the remains and currently is serving 65 years in the Pendleton Correctional Facility after being convicted of the murder of Roberts. For more information visit currentincarmel.com.

Columnist Andy Ray doesn’t like it when Oscarworthy films open as early as September, but “The Spectacular Now” has a lot going for it – namely Jennifer Jason Leigh’s supporting performance – despite being released early and fizzling at the box office.

The Hoosier Salon has had success in its forays into Carmel. (Submitted photo)

Hoosier Salon has success in Carmel

By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com A new location and a name change could be in the works for the Hoosier Salon. Currently in Broad Ripple, the gallery has seen deart creasing numbers in recent times. But, a trial run in Carmel’s Arts and Design district showed interest is still there.

“The Hoosier Salon has never lived outside of Marion County since its beginnings in Indianapolis in 1924, so there are some real concerns about are we making the right decision. So what was initially suggested was to exhibit in the Carmel space the weekend of the September Gallery Walk,” said Executive Director Donnae Dole. “We had more than 400 people that Friday and Saturday and sold a painting which is very, very good.”

Knowing those numbers weren’t typical, Dole wanted to see what sort of foot traffic a typical Saturday would result in at the much larger space on North Range Line Road.

“I had 27 people come in - people who are going to come back because they were interested in a couple of paintings but had to go home and take measurements,” she said.

These are encouraging numbers when compared to the 10 to 15 people per week the salon sees come through the door in its current location on 65th Street.

“We have been at that location almost 12 years and on College Avenue probably five or six

years before that. We did a survey and out of 100 people, only 27 knew where the Hoosier Salon was,” Dole said. “So, that is another reason I am very much in favor of a move to Carmel.”

A move could also see the salon revert to its original name; the Hoosier Art Patron Association.

The gallery’s board of directors will have final say in the move which could come down to one factor. Can the gallery afford the lease in Carmel?

“It’s more money than what we have been paying in Broad Ripple. You have to understand the economic downturn really affected us from 2008 until last year,” Dole said. “We had good sales but only because artists lowered their price point. We have less than a half a milliondollar budget but every penny of that has to be raised through grants or donations, etc. We have been talking to the building owners to see if they would come way down on the lease at least for the first couple of years.”

Dole’s other hope is that the City of Carmel will step in and help the gallery out. A decision on that is expected by the city council this month.

“We would be the only full blown gallery that is nonprofit, so it would be to their benefit to help us,” she said.

A vote by the Hoosier Salon’s board is expected Oct. 16. If the move is approved, Dole expects it would occur by the end of 2013, just in time for the gallery’s 90th anniversary in 2014.

Carmel family unfazed by TV time

By Terri L. Spilman • news@currentincarmel.com “The survey says!”

If that phrase sounds familiar, it’s because it’s a catch phrase from one of game show the most popular and longest running game shows on TV, “Family Feud.” The Levine family from the Carmel area recently made an appearance.

In April, MyINDY-TV 23 held auditions for “Family Feud” at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. The Levine family was one of four local families chosen by show producers for a taping.

“We’ve always been a big fan of the show,” said Debbie Levine Snyder. “My son saw a billboard advertising the auditions and said, ‘Hey, you should do this.’”

Debbie convinced her husband, parents, brother and sister-in-law into auditioning. The Levine family competed with about 500 families over two days of auditions at the fairgrounds.

“We sat around for a long time and were one of the last families called up. We answered two questions, and a couple of producers noticed us having fun and being extremely enthusiastic,” Debbie Levine Snyder said of the massive audition process.

After doing some additional filming, the Levine family received a call three days later with an offer to fly down and tape a show in Atlanta.

“The call came too quickly. I thought it was a joke” Snyder said. “We were excited, surprised

From left Debbie Levine Snyder, Jerry Levine, Shanna Levine, Phil Levine and Judy Levine lined up and ready to answer questions during a taping of “Family Feud.” (Submitted photo)

and shocked. We thought we did a good job, however, you never know.”

The Levines prepared for their appearance by playing the Family Feud game on their phones and gathering as a family to practice answering general questions and work on reaction times.

In May, the family flew to Atlanta to tape the episode.

“It was an incredible experience. Steve Harvey is phenomenal, he is just awesome,” Snyder said.

The Levines cannot reveal the outcome of the episode until after the Oct. 7 air date when they plan to have a viewing party with family and friends.

When asked what she thought about their 15 minutes of fame, Snyder replied nonchalantly, “Yeah, whatever.”

“Family Feud” airs on MyINDY-TV 23 at 7 p.m.

Taste of Asian fusion coming soon

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com

The Hwang family, owners of authentic Korean restaurant E. Miracle, plan to close their restaurant on Allisonville Road in now open Fishers and open a new concept restaurant at the Shops at Providence at Old Meridian in December.

“So many of our customers drive over here from Carmel now,” said Sean Hwang, who runs E.Miracle with his parents. “We just thought we would bring our restaurant to them.”

Renovations are underway in the new space, and the Hwang family is targeting an opening date of early 2014. The Fishers location will remain open for business as usual until the new restaurant opens.

While specific hours have not yet been set, Hwang said that they plan to be open seven days a week.

“We are planning an all new menu - a whole new concept,” Hwang said. “It’s going to be a

whole new approach to Asian fusion cuisine.”

The new restaurant will simply be called The Miracle. It will have about 80 seats, half the space the Hwangs have now, and will not offer the open cooktop Korean barbeque concept.

The new restaurant will still offer sushi, which E.Miracle is known for, and it will also retain Korean mainstay dishes such as bi bim bap.

Hwang plans to eliminate the customary complimentary assortment of side dishes, as he said they often go to waste. They will continue to serve kim chee, the most popular Korean side dish, but it will only be offered as a side for purchase.

“The whole family is in on the menu creation,” Hwang said. “We all taste everything, and if we don’t all like it, we keep working on it.”

Hwang said the menu will feature unusual combinations of ingredients not typically found in Asian cuisine, such as cheese.

The Hwang family has lived in Indiana since 1999. They opened E.Miracle in Fishers in 2008.

Three Ds’ unveils new look, sound

By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com

It’s not unusual for regulars to see Three Ds’ Pub & Café owner, Erin Heller, sitting and chatting with customers, getting feedmusic back and ideas.

“I ask them how they plan where to go for a night out, what they look for in music, what’s big, etc.” she said. “They would tell me that country is really big now. I knew that every weekend this summer my business tanked because everyone was going to Klipsch for the country concerts. I like listening to country music so I thought maybe that’s what we needed here.”

Heller said Three Ds’ previous owners – when the bar was called Mickey’s Irish Pub – had a lot of classic rock.

“But I just don’t think there are many who really go out to listen to that,” she said. “I am 37 and I know I don’t want to listen to Def Leppard or the Grateful Dead. I want to bring a younger feel.”

The inaugural country act at Three Ds’ was in September and featured musician Tim McDonald.

“I think customers were confused at first,” Heller said. “It was one of those things that went over well with the people who were there and then they were like, ‘Oh, do you have country bands?’ They were used to the classic rock here.”

Heller also wants to bring in more original music.

“It all seems to be covers, but growing up in the Cleveland area that is all we went to – bands that did original music. So, when I bought this place it is part of what I envisioned,” she said.

Among other changes, Heller is planning more than $100,000 in renovations.

Erin Heller, owner of Three Ds’ Pub & Cafe, rebranded her business about a year ago creating a family friendly environment with room enough to host the musical talent of bands ranging from country and bluegrass to hard rock.

“You don’t see a lot of it because most was in the kitchen,” Heller said. “There is also a new menu, we made it non-smoking and family friendly. You can bring the kids in, sit down and have a nice meal. I am a single mom with three kids and I needed that. Sometimes there isn’t anyone to watch my youngest, David, and I have to bring him to work.”

Upcoming events include an original music night Oct. 22 featuring Coyote Armanda & Endiana, country singer Corey Cox on Oct. 25 and country band Asphalt Farm on Nov. 22.

Cherish Center awarded grant

By Terri Spilman • news@currentincarmel.com

The Cherish Center, a service of Advocates for Children and Families, recently received a grant of $86,000 from The Regional nonprofit Council of Community Partners for Child Safety to support its Socially Safe Kids Project.

Advocates for Children and Families is a nonprofit organization that works to bring together a network of quality child services, supporting organizations and programs for the benefit of decreasing violent harm to children and increasing the presence of thriving children and families.

“The Cherish Center sees abuse cases every day that could have been prevented with education and intervention at earlier stages,” said Wendy Raeburn, the center’s executive director. “Our prevention programs and the funding through this grant are key to decreasing the cases of abuse we might see down the road.”

“We hope to get our sex abuse/safety program in Hamilton County schools through these funds,”

Raeburn said. “These dollars will provide schools and youth-serving agencies with prevention they couldn’t otherwise be able to pay for.”

The Cherish Center also provides child forensic interviews when there is an allegation of abuse, working directly with the Dept. of Child Services and law enforcement to coordinate investigations.

Even though the center is based in Hamilton County, it also supplies services to underserved counties such as Hancock, Tipton and Madison and for organizations that don’t have after-hours staff, Raeburn said.

Bullying prevention is another program being funded by the grant. The Cherish Center will have reached more than 3,500 students and 300 staff with the bullying prevention program in September and October as part of education requirements mandated by the new bullying prevention law, with a goal of reaching 15,000.

For more information on The Cherish Center’s programs and services, visit www.cherishcenter. org or call 773-3275.

Special Olympics golf outing a success – On Sept. 19, the Special Olympics of Washington Township held its inaugural Charity Golf Outing at the Pebblebrook Golf Club in Westfield. The Sertoma Club of Broad Ripple was the primary sponsor of the event, which included 68 golfers. In all, 90 friends of Special Olympics attended the dinner following the outing. More than $10,000 was raised at the outing and that money will be used to pay for the costs of participants at upcoming events such as next year’s Special Olympics state track meet in Terre Haute.

No gluten tolerated at expo

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com

Who knew that alternatives to a simple protein found in wheat products could draw a crowd?

The third annual Gluten Free Livevent ing Now Expo continues to grow and will take place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Oct. 5 at The Fountains, 502 E. Carmel Dr. In 2012 the event hosted more than 4,000 people from all over the country. The organizers are expecting even more this year.

The number of people nationwide who are turning to a gluten-free lifestyle continues to grow as awareness increases about Celiac disease and gluten intolerance. According to the Website of the Center for Celiac Research and Treatment in Boston, one in 133 people in the United States are affected by this genetically-based autoimmune disease, and many more are suffering undiagnosed.

When individuals with Celiac disease eat foods containing gluten, tiny hair-like projections in the small intestine are damaged and cannot properly absorb basic nutrients. Symptoms can range from severe abdominal cramping and other digestive disorders to migraines, joint pain, dental problems and depression.

Gluten Free Living Now is a nonprofit organization founded by Carmel resident Shelia Cafferty, who suffered from mysterious medical issues for many years until she was ultimately diagnosed with Celiac disease.

Cafferty said the diagnosis changed her life,

FAMILY OWNED & OPERATED SINCE 1983 and she started to look for a way to help others who were suffering as well. She created the expo as a way to reach as many people as possible.

“We are passionate about bettering the lives of those who suffer from a gluten intolerance of any degree,” Cafferty said. “This is personal for us. We are looking to empower people with the tools to lead a happier, healthier, less restrictive life.”

People attending the expo can sample new gluten-free foods and learn new cooking techniques. Medical experts from across the country who specialize in Celiac diagnosis and treatment will present lectures about living with the disease, and food vendors and local restaurants will have booths with gluten-free food samples.

A kid’s corner will offer a play area and glutenfree kid-friendly snacks, and adults can enjoy the gluten-free beer and alcohol garden.

Teachers’ contract negotiations unresolved

By Pete Smith • pete@yoaurecurrent.com

Carmel teachers have been working without a contract for more than a year, with no end in sight. education But parents and students should have little to fear.

There is no threat of a strike and the excellent teaching standards maintained in the schools are likely to continue, Asst. Supt. Roger McMichael said.

“We have a very dedicated staff here,” schools spokeswoman Tricia Reynolds said. “They are doing what they love to do.”

A state mandated fact-finder, a role similar to an administrative judge, was scheduled to decide before Sept. 30 whether a contract proposed by the school district or a contract from the Carmel Clay Education Association would be applied to the 2012-13 school year. The fact-finder also could determine neither contract was permissible, McMichael said.

The contract negotiations began in August 2012, but neither side could reach an agreement.

The talks entered state-mandated mediation before a lawsuit was filed in November 2012 by the teachers’ association alleging unfair labor practices, said Brian Lyday, president of the Carmel Clay Education Association and a fifth-grade teacher at Towne Meadow Elementary School.

That lawsuit and its appeals process were recently resolved, and a decision on a 2012-13

contract now is in the hands of a fact-finder. But even that ruling is subject to appeal, and both the teachers’ association and Carmel schools are unsure when the matter will be resolved.

The districts’ teachers are the only ones in the state without a contract, and the entire appeals process is blazing new legal ground.

Illustrating how entrenched the divisions are, the two sides disagree even on the main points of the negotiations.

According to the teachers’ association, the main sticking points in the 2012-13 contract negotiations were: • Teachers’ raises • Teachers’ salary schedule • Use of short-term disability vs. a catastrophic sick bank • Teachers’ personal days • The number of days teachers work and the length of those days The administration doesn’t feel personal days were part of the original negotiations or that state law allows for proposals on works hours to be included in a contract, McMichael said in a statement.

The issue of a teachers’ salary schedule continues to loom over the district despite its best

efforts. Teachers have typically advanced in salary through a schedule that rewarded experience and higher education. The schedule currently is not part of an offer in the administration’s space 2012-13 contract proposal, Lyday said.

“What we’ve tried to discuss are the long-term ramifications on the school district,” Lyday said.

Even the presence of a teachers’ salary schedule in the 2013-14 budget, which currently is being negotiated, seems to offer little hope of bridging the divide between the teachers association and the school administration.

Those contract negotiations are headed to mediation, too, Lyday said.

A significant presence Today the CSO has grown to a full-time staff of four: Bowden, along with President and CEO Alan Davis, General Manager Denise Ryan and Marketing Director Clint Reeves. The CSO recently moved into spacious new offices at Pedcor Square.

Pedcor Companies’ president and CEO Bruce Cordingley long has been a supporter of the arts.

“I love the way that the CSO concerts include both a very talented professional orchestra and also often include local groups of musicians and singers,” Cordingley said. “All of their concerts are both fun and educational as the conductor (Bowden) goes to great efforts to explain the historical and musical background of each part of the performances. The CSO is something that we are all very proud to have a part of the Carmel and Carmel City Center communities.”

“We are just starting our strategic plan for the next three years, to take us through our 40th anniversary. Our goals include sold-out performances for every concert and one big-name soloist every year,” said Davis.

A remarkable journey Yet another diverse and compelling season has been created by Bowden, including a return of New York City’s piano virtuoso Di Wu, a holiday concert by the jazz vocal quintet Five by Design, a romantic Valentine’s Day celebration featuring Ariel Horowitz (a 17-year-old violin prodigy from Bloomington) and a percussion celebration in March with more than 100 percussion instruments on the stage at one time.

Humble origins aside, the CSO has grown from a group of 15 musicians rehearsing in a basement to a group of 85 professional musicians attracting talent from around the world. The annual operating budget has grown from $5,000 to $750,000 and the orchestra currently boasts 480 season-ticket holders.

Throughout turmoil and turnover, the Carmel community has stood behind its symphony, and the CSO today is a shining example of what a dedicated group of citizens can do.

FR O M T H E BACKSHOP Do you harbor a budding writer?

Bullies beware It is our position that the new anti-bullying law is a positive move. According to the National Education Association, around 160,000 children miss school each day because they are scared of bullying. A recent study on teenage girls in Indiana found that more Hoosier girls are troubled by depression, falling grades and concerns about their weight than the national average. Perhaps it’s related to girls being more prone to social/relational bullying.

The prevalent use of social media among teens is compounded by an ever-growing cavalcade of new social networking applications making it easier to target and become a target, while making it harder for parents to monitor cyber-bullying behavior. Logic dictates hesitancy in giving teenagers the equivalent of their own unfiltered television station with broadcast rights to the world, however, pop culture dictates the opposite.

The new law gives authority to the schools for monitoring suspected bullying behavior.

The mandate that school staff, administrators, teachers, volunteers, parents, cafeteria workers, bus drivers and students be educated on the definition, signs and interventions for bullying is good and long overdue. If civility is not ingrained in our youth, what hope do we have for the future and the legacy of those victims of bullying who took their own lives way too soon.

We can relate Commentary by Terry Anker Resources are always limited – even when we think that they are not. Time. Money. The bounty of nature. Each is consumed and renewed, even if it returns in a form we don’t like as much, in its own time. It is not like this truism is any big insight. But one is reminded from time to time that we don’t really know how close we are to exhausting a resource until it is nearly gone.

For me, this simple fact reasserted itself in listening to a lecture on the history of Hamilton County. Decades ago, we experienced a natural gas boom. Factories were built, and towns like Atlanta and others, now largely lost to history, burgeoned. At the time, the gas flowed from the ground in a seemingly endless stream. There was so much, in fact, that we would burn it off into the night sky for our own amusement.

We all know the rest of the story. The boom soon turned to bust. Businesses died, and folks packed up and moved on to the next town.

These stories are common enough but happen so often that the lesson is lost in cliché.

If we’re smart, we take note and think about allocation of these resources. Today I am in Germany with the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce representing Legacy Fund in the exchange delegation. As the meetings roll on, we learn about ports and big manufacturers. But can the expense in time and dollars justify the trip? Will I need to ship Ford Fiestas en masse from central Germany any time soon? Probably not. Am I spending time with a hundred or so engaged and talented people from Central Indiana? Definitely so. Trade missions pay a dividend – sometimes in cash but always in capital of the intellectual variety.

The fourth quarter of 2013 is upon us, and we’re anticipating it being rife with activity.

City and town councils, zoning and redevelopment commissions, utilities, schools and other entities, to speak nothing of entertainment and entertaining venues, will have a lot of activity. Why do you care? Because your community is important to you, and so, too, are your leisurely pursuits. It’s all of great significance to us, because you have tasked us with the responsibility of covering these prime topics of interest. We are prepared to ramp it up, increasing our already heightened coverage in those and other areas, but we need your help to make it happen. We’ve always been of the opinion and practice that those who know make the best contributors, and we believe that those who know want to know more and are willing to ask the questions to get more. To that end, we are looking to beef up our local reporting efforts even more for all our papers. Would you like to participate? If you would, we certainly would like to hear from you. You needn’t be a former Pulitzer Prize winner, or even a veteran journalist. You just need to have an inquisitive mind and the ability to tell a story at a prescribed length. All our editors are ready to help you, and so are we. We’re not shy about saying – and practicing – that news is what our readers say it is. That’s why our independent research is important to us and, we presume, you. To give the readership anything other than that for which it has asked is tantamount to blowing off the research.

We’re not going to do that. Consider our offer and the opportunity to become more involved in the community. If you have interest, please write us at info@youarecurrent.com today.

Civic Theatre is worth a visit Commentary by Kurt Pantzer

We remember days gone by. Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre is ninety-nine & three.

Let me explain. Operating Plain Talk since 1915, Civic is in its third year at The Center for The Performing Arts. Our next performance, 1940’s Radio Hour opens Oct. 25.

You should go see it and savor a live radio broadcast from the Hotel Astor’s Algonquin Room in the New York City of 1942. There is something joyful in the banter between characters as well as the sound effects generated on stage for the radio broadcast. It’s a feeling we crave to reminisce.

1940’s Radio Hour exists in a memorable era of the culture industry. Frank Sinatra’s coveted style is emulated by many and matched by none. We still enjoy seeing folks endeavor to turn ideas and emotions into shows. We can see ourselves in theatre. It is an important legacy.

Live theatre involves the audience in the essence of cultural patterns and conveys a sense of the times. Our observing is a cultural consequence of the information age, but our heritage is wrapped up in it.

Civic has moved four times in its history.

An August issue of the Indianapolis Business Journal lists the largest Indianapolis-area per-

forming arts organizations, ranked by budget, ticket sales and total season attendance. With a budget of $1.8 million, Civic drew an audience of 51,761 and ticket sales of $611,936.

Like all the other listed performing arts organizations, Civic counts on donors, grantors and government support to serve our growing audience and education and outreach programs.

The list shows that Civic has benefited from its move. Within those numbers are further stories: 80 performances staged during the 2012-13 season; education and outreach programs serving 20,034 individuals; and 284 workshops and classes offered to students through Jr. Civic, the theatre’s Young Adult Program and Studio Series.

Thirty-nine percent of our audience lives in Marion County and 42 percent in Hamilton County. Clearly, Civic has not forgotten its roots.

Civic is a mighty powerful little organization.

It strives to make life more interesting and edifying for patrons throughout central Indiana. As Managing Director, I join our Executive Director, Cheri Dick, in inviting you to visit us. We love to show off new digs.

Is martial arts a real sport?

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

What’s your take on the martial arts? As a teenager and honestly, up until about a month ago, I balked at families involved humor with karate, judo, jui jitsu, etc.

“It’s not a real sport!” I would say, as I trotted off to basketball practice or drove a little one to soccer. Sure “The Karate Kid” is one of my all-time favorite movies (the original, of course, starring the once very hot Ralph Macchio), but that was as far as I was willing to venture into anything that even remotely resembled a dojo. They’re wearing pajamas for Jean-Claude Van Damme’s sake!

Enter nephew, age 8, and his little sister, 5.

My husband and I received an email from their parents describing a hilarious session between said children, some bamboo boards and a Korean tae kwon do master. They invited us to come see one of the practices, so Doo and I grabbed our son Andrew and headed over to Master Yoo’s.

The humidity was palpable, as there were about one billion kids jam-packed on a center mat, screaming and punching to the commands of not one, but four adult instructors, all with multiple black-belts. After exhausting lines like “Swipe the knee, Johnny!” and “Wax on, wax off,” Doo and I eventually began paying attention. And we were impressed.

Children of all ages and sizes were listening intently, saying “Yes, sir” at every turn, bowing

to each other and to their teachers, and following instructions to the letter. When they made mistakes, they were gently corrected. When they succeeded, they were high-fived. And every so often a master would single out a Bruce Lee wannabe and have him perform amazing feats, or at least make it appear so. We could actually see the confidence levels rise each time they kicked the paddles to the cheers of their classmates. Steven Segal would have wept.

I glanced over at our son, our one child who still seems to be looking for his niche, and knew we were toast. And so, after a two-week free trial to make sure he would actually enjoy it, and some hard-core selling on the part of Master Yoo’s persistent staff (I heard they even signed up Chuck Norris), we officially became a tae kwon do family. We have a one-year contract to prove it.

Turns out I was wrong about this martial arts thing. Not only is it a sport, but it’s one of the best I’ve seen at promoting the importance of focus, self-control, determination and respect.

So I’m happily replying “Yes, sensei!” to tae kwon do and hoping we do in fact have a Jet Li in the making, PJ’s and all. Peace out.

I’ve found my station in life Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Mary Ellen and I have been spending a lot of time on the couch watching our big-screen TV. It’s the same crapola that was on humor our small screen TV, only everything is larger.

I am easily entertained. For example, I’m a big fan of cooking shows on NPR. I listen to this woman making veal scaloppini on the radio. I can’t see the dish; I can’t smell the dish; but I drool all over the steering wheel. Last year, one of the cable channels aired a yule log burning in a fireplace around the clock at Christmastime, and I watched it for three weeks. I was so captivated that I requested NPR also put it on the radio so I could listen to the wood crackling while driving.

This month, Mary Ellen and I have enjoyed several old movies, but mostly we’ve watched music. Yes, watched music. Just like the old days of MTV, with one difference. There’s nothing to look at. It’s pretty much a blank screen.

You see, with our cable service, you simply get music playing on about 25 channels. Each station features a different genre, like R&B, hip-hop, Reggae, soul, smooth jazz, rough jazz, heavy metal, light metal, hard rock, soft rock and sedimentary rock.

As a rule, I’m really bad at comprehending what a movie is about, so I thought the music

channels would take the pressure off my wife who always has to explain the plot to me.

While the screen is basically a dull gray, there are sometimes ads in one corner, and they also throw in interesting facts about the song or the artist playing in the other. For example, the 13th century composer Leonin wrote his music at Notre Dame. Fine, but did he play basketball there and could he hit a 3-pointer?

Usually these little tidbits of history are kind of dull, so I did a little research of my own and found three unknown pieces of classical trivia…

• Johann Sebastian Bach’s wife made him a sandwich to take to work every day and is credited with inventing the Bach’s lunch.

• Beethoven was not deaf. He just had heard enough already.

• It wasn’t that Brahms didn’t like children — he just liked them better when they were sleeping.

I’m tiring of these channels. Mary Ellen said if really wanted to, I could watch the Colts game this Sunday.

That was music to my ears.

Come to the dark side Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre season stretches to match dancers’ ambitions

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com A dark, post-modern telling of the tale of Pinocchio. A poetic interpretation of the forced march of the Cherokees from their dance native land. A gypsy wedding. A spiritual dance of the angels.

The season opener of Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre, GHDT in Concert, is introspective and unusual, and will take the audience on a journey across continents and cultures.

Founded in 1997, GHDT is now in its third season as the resident professional dance company at the Tarkington Theatre at The Center for the Performing Arts. GHDT in Concert will present a twist to their typical “repertoire by request” concert.

Last season, audience members were invited to select the repertoire. This season, Hancock asked the dancers and the company’s lighting designer, Ryan Koharchik, to choose the pieces to be performed.

Koharchik has created an entirely new lighting design for his choice, “Steampunk Pinocchio.” Steampunk is a futuristic, sci-fi genre focusing on steam-powered machinery. It is typified by Victorian-style corsets, goggles and elements of fantasy. Hancock has adapted Carlo Collodi’s original story into a darker version of the well-known children’s tale.

The dancers have selected “Trail of Tears,” an athletic and spiritual dance inspired by the

forced march of the Cherokee Indians, “The Wedding,” inspired by the migration of the Roma gypsies from India to Spain, and “This is Why We are Born with a Cleft on our Upper Lips,” a solo piece which will feature intern Abby Lessaris.

“I continue to try and stretch the dancers; not just their bodies, but their minds,” Hancock said.

“And we try to stretch the minds of the audience too, to not just entertain but inform. We try to present story-driven dance featuring complex social, cultural, historical and spiritual issues.”

Hancock is enamored with Indian culture and

travels regularly to Mumbai, where he works with several dance companies. He hopes to someday take GHDT on tour in India.

“Mr. Hancock likes to take us out of our comfort zone,” said Dana Backes, who hails from Colorado Springs, Colo. “We’re all going to be stretching for ‘La Casa Azul!’”

Backes refers to the June world premiere presentation of an original work by Hancock with collaborator Kate Ayers, which will combine ballet and opera. All of the dancers will sing, and they are all taking voice lessons now in preparation. The “balopera,” as Hancock is calling it, is an original idea and is based on the life of renowned Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.

Other performances on this season’s schedule include: an alternative version of “The Nutcracker” at Pike Performing Arts Center, “Down on the Bayou,” a cabaret-style event, “Superhero,” “G2 in Concert,” featuring GHDT Academy students, and “La Casa Azul.”

Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre in Concert • Dance performances of “Steampunk Pinocchio,” “Trail of Tears,” “The Wedding” and “This is Why We are Born with a Cleft on our Upper Lips” • 7 p.m. Oct. 4 and 5 • Tickets $38.50 for adults and $33.50 for students and seniors. • For more information call 8433800 or visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org

Morty’s the place for edgy comedy

By Mark Johnson • mark@youarecurrent.com For Chris Bowers, comedy comes naturally.

Just visit Morty’s Comedy Joint at 3625 E. 96th St. for proof.

Bowers is not only the conightlife owner of Morty’s, but he also is one of its featured performers.

“As a comic, I like the experience I have at Morty’s,” Bowers said. “But there’s a lot of nights when I’m not on stage. I don’t want to be on stage so much that the people are sick of me.”

Bowers, who also is a motivational speaker for young people, has won several stand-up competitions, including the Midwest Ultimate Funny Championships and the Louisville Fight of the Laughing Skull Festival.

This November, he will proudly celebrate his fifth anniversary at Morty’s.

“I had always been into comedy and Morty’s was my home club,” Bowers said. “It was fun and I really enjoyed working with the people here. I was recently divorced, and I said to myself, ‘Now is the time.’ I was ready.”

On New Year’s Eve 2009, the original Morty’s hosted its final show. On March 14, Morty’s reopened under the ownership of Bowers and Tony Deardorff with an important goal in mind.

“We want to be an oasis for comics,” Bowers said. “We want them to feel at home, have fun, and

we want them to want to come back. More importantly, we want to give the local comics a chance.”

Much of that development remains unseen by audience eyes.

“People don’t understand the technical aspect of comedy,” Bowers said. “One word can make the difference in a joke. Most comics get their experience in bars and at open mic nights where there are mostly single guys. That material is not going to work in a comedy club. The audience in a comedy club will be made up of couples and groups of single women. As a comic, it’s about reading your audience and knowing what works.”

Yet, Bowers has high praise for the Morty’s audience.

“We have a very loyal base clientele,” he said.

“Our crowds are very diverse, and they are comedy savy.”

So, what works for the Morty’s crowd?

“We have a very eclectic mix of comedy,” Bowers said. “We don’t like filthy comedy, but we don’t have a lot of clean comedy. Edgy, adult humor is what we offer. We advise people to check the website before coming to a show so that they won’t be offended by the material. Now, you do have some guys out there who are just looking to offend someone. We won’t have those guys here.”

The Pyramid Players are proud to present a fun-filled musical featuring that silly old bear with Winnie-The-Pooh this fall at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre, 9301 N. Michigan Rd. This fun show opens Oct. 11 for kids of all ages.

A.A. Milne’s charming Winnie-The-Pooh has been loved for generations. This bear of very little brain has many adventures with his friends Rabbit, Piglet, Tigger and Eeyore, and they all come to the stage in this one-hour musical tale. Baths, birthdays and busted balloons together with missing tails and mistaken identity create an entertaining and enchanting story that delights all ages.

Darrin Murrell stars as the title character, with Gracia Gillund as Rabbit, Jaddy Ciucci as Piglet and Roo, Ben Asaykwee as Tigger and Paige Scott as Eeyore and Kanga. The production is directed by Jeff Stockberger and choreographed by Deb Wims.

Winnie-the-Pooh concludes the 2013 Live Theatre for Kids series at Beef & Boards, and is on stage through Nov. 9. Pyramid Players productions are

Lessons learned

Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Richard Brookhiser, an American journalist, biographer, and historian and a senior editor at the National Review, once wrote an interesting historical-fiction piece in Forbes magazine describing the inauguration of tailgating. According to Brookhiser, it all began at the 1904 Harvard-Yale football game, inferring tailgating has actually been going on for more than a century. If you believe that with age comes wisdom, then there must have been some lessons learned during the last “five score and eleven years”.

Here are a few examples we have observed that should improve your tailgating experience by saving space and money, in addition to simplifying your game day preparation routine: • Don’t pay for things that you can make free. A plastic juice or milk bottle can be washed, filled almost full with clean water and frozen in your freezer. Why pay for ice when you can make your own?

• Re-use containers that are disposable.

A gallon ice cream tub makes a perfect disposable chili container that can be

thrown away on site after the game.

Remember that chili will stain your Tupperware.

• If you need a fire for warmth or cooking use burnable packaging. Cardboard boxes, paper bags and newspapers make good kindling for a fire or to light charcoal without that smelly lighter fluid.

Note that used paper plates can also be burned.

Remember that tailgating is to be a relaxing social experience. Use your brain here to schedule your departure to the game ahead of traffic, and the return home after most traffic has cleared. By arriving early you won’t need to rush your set-up and most importantly, you’ll have more time for enjoying friends. With good friends you’ll need good food. Chili is always a favorite. Try this recipe that won a cook-off contest several years ago at the Indiana State Fair.

Joe Drozda is an author about sports and food. You may contact him at drozda@tailgatershandbook.com or visit www. tailgatershandbook.com.

Ingredients (makes four quarts): • 2 teaspoons salt • 2 tablespoons Mexican oregano (leaf style) • 2 tablespoons cumin • 2 teaspoons cilantro • 8 tablespoons chili powder • 46 fluid ounces V8 juice (Light & Tangy) • 2 14-1/2 oz. cans diced tomatoes with green chilies • 1 1/4 ounces Wyler’s instant beef bullion crystals (low sodium) • 1 teaspoon crushed garlic • 1 large Vidalia onion • 1 large red onion • 1 pound coarse ground chuck • 1/2 pound cubed pork tenderloin • 2 full 1/2-inch-thick round steaks • 12 ounce beer, any brand • 1/4 cup cooking oil Preparation: Trim the round steak of all fat and slice the meat into 1/2-inch strips. Laying several strips at a time side-by-side, cut the strips across to form 1/2-inch bite-size cubes. Using half the cooking oil in a heavy skillet, brown the ground chuck, pork and beef cubes together. When browned, remove the meat from the skillet and place in your favorite chili pot, leaving as much of the oil as possible in the skillet. Use the remaining oil to brown the chopped onion, then add the crushed garlic. Remove the mixture and place in the chili pot. Combine the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil and continue to boil uncovered until chili has thickened to desired consistency. You may wish to add the following optional ingredients: 1/2 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce, a Hersey bar (no almonds), and few dashes of Tabasco.

The Hamilton County Parks & Recreation Dept. will transform the typically tranquil Potter’s Bridge Park, 19401 N Allisonville festival Rd., Noblesville, into a lively festival from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 5.

Guests of the Potter’s Bridge Fall Festival can listen to live music, visit the arts and crafts booths, take their little ones to the kids area and enjoy the natural scenery of Noblesville’s most scenic park on the White River Greenway Trail. Oct. 5 marks the 14th year of the free annual festival.

“It all takes place in the park setting. Local residents know it is a very peaceful and scenic park and the addition of the historic covered bridge is special,” said Resource Development Specialist Don Nicholls of the HCPR Dept. “It attracts a lot of people. Vendors want to setup on the covered bridge.”

Nicholls said the festival will include more than 70 vendors with a wide variety of products, entertainment and food.

“We’re on pace to surpass all years in terms of vender participation,” he said, adding vendors range from chiropractic offices to custom jewelry made out of flatware to furniture. “It’s types of items or merchandise not found in traditional stores. It’s handcrafted with a lot of pride and care.”

In addition to vendors, the festival will include a kids’ zone with a bounce house and good sized playground. Entertainment will be provided by

Arts and crafts vendors fill the outside and inside of Potter’s Bridge during the annual fall festival.

Organizers said more than 70 vendors will attend this year’s event. (File photo)

the Poison River Boys, a bluegrass band that performed at last year’s event.

“We had so many compliments about them that we invited them back,” Nicholls said.

A 10 x 10-foot booth space is $30 and Nicholls said the low price provides in-home businesses or entrepreneurial individuals an opportunity to showcase their goods.

“This is the least expensive way to sell arts and crafts for that kind of traffic and exposure,” said Nicholls. “The great variety adds to the popularity.”

Nicholls said vendor applications are still being accepted and will go through the screening process. To learn more or to register, call 770-4400.

Living healthier, happier lives

By Patricia Griffin Mangan news@currentinwestfield.com

Hundreds of people learned about the latest health products during the Hamilton County Health & Wellness Expo on wellness Sept. 21 and 22 at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds in Noblesville. Riverview Hospital was one of the 29 vendors at the expo and offered $30 flu shots and other free screening tests. The county hospital also provided several discounted screenings like the cardiac risk assessment and baseline EKG test for $l0 each.

Doctors who gave free presentations on a variety of medical subjects were Carolyn Cebalo, Michael Fitzgerald, Tracey Ikerd, Jeffrey Ginther,

Reeta Bhargava, Stephen Jacobsen and Eric Marcotte.

“I came to learn more about nutrition and weight loss,” said Sherry Moore, who attended Marcotte’s class.

“We should treat our bodies not how we feel but how we live,” Marcotte said.

The expo provided attendees the opportunity to meet with a variety of healthcare specialists including local dentists, hearing aid companies, eye, ear, nose and throat companies, assisted living and independent living facilities.

“We are a full service chiropractic office and we focus on not only the spine but the nervous system using corrective physical therapy, exercises and different procedures,” said chiropractor Abraham Beaber of Hamilton County Chiropractic.

Style show Riverview Hospital’s Auxiliary members and guests were treated to an afternoon of fun and fashion at the Autumn Elegance Style Show and Luncheon on Sept. 19 at the Ritz Charles in Carmel. The fashions, a wide array of show stopping outfits for fall and winter, were presented by The Secret Ingredient. Proceeds from the event benefit Riverview Hospital.

For the fourth consecutive year, Indiana University Health North Hospital will turn its campus pink in October in recognition wellness of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The hospital is raising funds for the new Philanthropy Breast Care Fund.

The public is invited to participate in the effort by making online donations to sponsor pink solar lights that will be placed on IU Health North Hospital’s grounds at 116th and North Meridian streets to represent those whose lives have been touched by breast cancer.

“At IU Health North Hospital, we hope to receive donations for 1,000 pink solar lights that will help us continue to offer the highest quality care and support to the women we serve every day,” stated Julia Whiteker, manager of Cancer Services at IU Health North, Saxony and Tipton Hospitals.

Solar lights at IU Health North Hospital are $5

each and can be dedicated to honor, remember, or thank a friend or family member who fought breast cancer or helped another through her journey with the disease. All proceeds will go to the hospital’s Philanthropy Breast Care Fund to assist women through their breast cancer treatment. For more information, contact Tracy Miller at 688-5678 or northgiving@iuhealth.org.

IU Health Saxony Hospital in Fishers and IU Health Tipton Hospital are “Turning Pink” for Breast Cancer Awareness Month this year.

Visitors may notice such things as pink water running through outdoor fountains, pink mums decorating the landscapes and pink lights shining the trees.

“So many lives are touched by breast cancer, and by spreading pink elements throughout three hospital’s campuses, we are able to bring greater attention to breast cancer and support those who are fighting it,” stated Whiteker.

For more information, visit www.iuhealth.org/ turnpink.

Sports fans finding Nemo’s

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Nemo’s Sports Pub and Grill is a family affair - literally. Eric Niemeyer runs the business, his mother, Mitsy, does the acnow open counting and his father, John, constructed the bar and spent hours helping to construct other aspects of the restaurant.

“It’s a family business but we each do our own thing,” Mitsy said. “It’s Eric’s baby.”

“We’ve always worked well together as a family,” Eric said.

The pub opened on Aug. 7 at 15887 Cumberland Rd. For the past 15 years, Eric has worked in a variety of positions at night clubs and enjoys hanging out in sports bars.

“It’s a culmination of several sports bars merged into one,” Eric said, who has had the nickname of Nemo since seventh grade. “I had the idea of a brand new sports bar, but you know what would make it better and eliminate all the bad qualities … It’s the little details people don’t see that we put into it.”

While the pub has all of the sports network packages, it will highlight professional and college teams located around Indianapolis.

“We’ll feature the teams from Indiana,” Eric said, adding if that is not an option voting will take place to determine which game gets the 16-feet wide and 9-feet high screen.

Eric said the locations features 21 televisions

– 18 55-inch flat screens, two 110-inch TVs and a giant 220-inch centerpiece projection screen.

“Every game you want to see will be going on,” he said. “You can see a TV just about anywhere in the room.”

The bar has 22 different flavors of beer on tap including local brews like Sun King, Flat 12, Upland, Triton and Cutters. Inside the kitchen, Chef Luis Aguilar makes everything from scratch.

“The bread pudding is the best dish in the entire menu,” John said.

Nemo’s Sports Pub and Grill is open for fans 21 and over. Hours are 4 p.m. to midnight Monday; 11 a.m. to midnight Sunday and Tuesday through Thursday; and 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday. For more information, call 773-7777 or visit www.nemossportspub.com.

Ollie’s inventory always fresh, cheap

Smart shopping – If you’re doing some online shopping and don’t want to be bombarded by related ads, there’s an easy fix, according to Joseph Lorenzo Hall at the Center for Democracy and Technology. Go into your browser’s settings to block third-party cookies and select “do not track.” Sorry, ad man. – CNNMoney

news@currentinwestfield.com When Ollie’s Bargain Outlet opens its doors Oct. 2 in Meridian Village Plaza just west of the intersection of U.S. 31 and 136th Street, shoppers are likely to be amazed at consumers the low prices.

John Santora, Ollie’s store operating coordinator, describes the business as a retailer specializing in “real brands at real bargains.” Shoppers can expect to find a wide variety of brand-name products for sale at prices 50 to 70 percent lower than typical retail. People are sure to scramble to grab $5 bottles of Tide detergent, $4 hardcover books or $2 boxes of cereal.

Unlike other discount retailers, Ollie’s doesn’t require bulk purchases to receive a discount. All its products can be purchased one at a time.

“Every time you visit Ollie’s you’re going to have a different buying experience,” Santora said.

That’s because the store never carries the same products from week to week. It purchases severely discounted brand name items through store buyouts, liquidators, bankruptcies and manufacturing overruns.

Santora said the approach keeps the store fresh, but warns customers, “When it’s gone, it’s gone.”

The opening comes none too soon for neighboring businesses who are concerned about how the construction of a roundabout to the south of the plaza will affect foot traffic. Santora

Hot colors for a cool fall

One of those days?

Commentary by Kristina Johnson

Another season, another set of trends. Not to worry, though. Many of the beauty color trends transition easily from summer to fall. Here you’ll find what’s hot for fall and something spa that works for you and your style.

Hair Color Reds: Redheads were hot for summer, and they’re hot for fall. Add some rich copper tones to transition to the new season. To intensify the look, add in some subtle highlights to make the look pop.

Brunettes: Dimension is the key this season.

Ask your stylist for some balayge highlights or lowlights in warm or golden tones. If you’re looking for a new shade, think cherry cola brown.

The subtle red in your hair will have you hitting on two trends.

Blondes: Think butter (platinum with golden highlights) and warm honey. If you’re a brunette looking to lighten up or a blond looking for a deeper hue, you might want to try the bronde trend. Bronde is characterized as the perfect combination of blonde and brown hues.

Nail Colors Think chromes, texture and glitters. If you’re craving something a bit more tame try a smoked lavender, chocolate cherry, teal or khaki. Try OPI’s Peace&Love&OPI for a holographic green-meetseggplant or CND’s Vinylux Blue Rapture for a tantalizing teal blue.

Makeup Makeup trends for fall are all over the place as grunge, the 1960s, and the natural look come to the forefront. To channel your inner ‘60s gal, try a cat eye by using black eyeliner to create a winged look. Those missing the days of ‘90s grunge will be happy to hear that smoky eyes and dark lips are in again. Try Aveda’s Sweetplum lip color, a rich, plum violet, for a pretty pout. And for your inner minimalist try the natural look with a simple sweep of mascara and a basic lip balm.

Clenched it or clinched it?

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

I may be the Grammar Guy, but I still learn new things every day. This week’s lesson is brought to you by football.

I’ve written about a pretty varied list of subjects as grammar guy a journalist: politics, education, crime. I once even did an ill-fated interview with Martin Short. But something I haven’t had much occasion to write about is sports – until recently.

Sports writing has its own lexicon, naturally. I’d give you some examples but, again, it’s sort of outside my ken. Some sports idioms do find life in the general vocabulary – boxing’s “glass jaw” and “down for the count” come to mind. And, some don’t.

Take, for example, the words “clench” and “clinch.” Historically, they are synonyms; both meaning to “hold or fasten tightly.” I’ve even found multiple dictionaries that use one to define the other (which, frankly, is a little lazy on their part).

“Clinch,” though, has evolved a second meaning after adoption by the sports writing community. That meaning is “to make something certain or final” – in particular a win. For example, if the Colts beat the Jaguars on Sunday, they will have “clinched the victory.” While “clench” and “clinch” can typically be used synonymously elsewhere, only “clinch” is appropriate in sports.

I … did not know this.

Fortunately for me, a quick set of edits made everything right in the world again. But, I decided I would be remiss if I didn’t share my edification with you.

Can you think of areas where otherwise synonymous words have industryspecific meanings? If so, drop me a line. And may all of your victories be clinched.

5 steps to more balance

Commentary by Kristin Boice

Do you feel stressed, overwhelmed, anxious and tired? Do you feel out of balance? Are you worrying over things relationships that you cannot control?

Are you spending too much time doing things that are not adding value to your life? Are you overscheduled? It might be time to hit the pause button and bring awareness to what is taking up your thoughts, time and energy.

The good news is we can make a choice, change and get back into alignment and integrity with ourselves. If you answered “yes” to any of the above questions, then you may not feel centered, grounded or peaceful. You can begin to make a change and feel better. Try these five steps and see if it makes a difference in how you feel.

Keep a daily log for one week. Write down what you do during the day, any worries or concerns taking up your thoughts and the amount of time spent on each item. For example, you might write down how much time you spend on Facebook or social media during the day and notice it is taking up way too much time and creating feeling of inadequacy or not feeling good enough. You may decide to limit your time or delete your account.

Explore why you do or think these things.

Are you doing a lot of things in your life to feel

important, to be noticed, to feel like you matter, to get attention, to belong or be liked? It’s essential to stop and understand what drives your behavior, choices and thoughts.

Write down your values. What is important to you? What matters most in your life? Are you living out these values with your actions and thoughts?

Set boundaries for yourself. This can be a gift for you and others. Determine what is out of balance and not aligning with your values.

You don’t need to explain yourself when setting boundaries. A simple “no” is enough. We often feel like we need to give a good explanation for why we can’t do something, but it isn’t necessary.

Take time for yourself. This is the most important step. It is often skipped because we tell ourselves we don’t have time. We can absolutely make time to take care of ourselves. It is essential we walk, read, journal, be in nature or whatever helps you to slow down and remember what is important. You can recharge your batteries, think more clearly, make better decisions and feel more balanced. You are worth it!

Millions visit the Roman Coliseum every year, many of them expecting to see where Christians were thrown to hungry lions. But travel Coliseum guides quickly dash those expectations, pointing out that facts don’t support the gory images of Renaissance paintings and late night movies.

Roman Emperor Vespasian ordered construction of the Coliseum in 72 A.D. The nearby Arch of Titus, built at about the same time, shows Roman troops, under the command of Vespasian’s son Titus, bringing golden treasures looted from the Jewish Second Temple in 70 A.D. back to Rome. Scholars believe these treasures funded the building of the Coliseum. Titus also brought 20,000 Jewish slaves back to Rome, many of whom were forced to build the Coliseum. When completed in 80 A.D., the Coliseum was a powerful reminder of the public benefits of Roman military power.

The four-tier oval Coliseum included numbered seats for at least 57,000 spectators and a longgone retractable cover. Coliseum entertainment typically involved fighting and death. During the inaugural games, 9,000 animals from around the empire were reportedly killed. Gladiators, both prisoners seeking freedom and professionals

seeking glory, fought to the death unless the “Editor,” often the emperor, granted them mercy.

What about the Christians and the lions?

Some evidence suggests that Romans executed early Christians by exposing them to dogs or other unspecified “wild beasts.” The tradition that the beasts were lions was probably influenced by the Biblical story of Daniel and the lions’ den.

But scholars have found no reliable evidence linking Christian deaths of any kind to the Coliseum. The first hint of a connection came in the sixteenth century, when Pope Pius V suggested to Christian pilgrims in Rome that sand from the Coliseum floor contained the blood of martyrs and could be taken home as a holy relic.

When visiting the Coliseum, don’t expect to see where the lions ate the Christians. Instead, expect to get an understanding of the horror first century Jews experienced when treasures of their holy Temple were used to construct a pagan monument to fighting and death. Even today, the Talmud forbids Jews from walking under Titus’s humiliating arch.

It’s true that all nuts are protein-packed but these little beauties pack an extra punch with their magnesium and B2 content, optimal for skin and hair health.

Never tried almond butter? Try Justin’s Nut Butter Maple Almond Butter in individual packages before investing in a whole jar. It’s the perfect sample size to get you hooked!

Quinoa Burnt out on that brown rice? This incredible grain is a great staple for gluten-free folks because it can be pre-prepared and kept in the fridge for up to 5 days. Quinoa is known as a complete protein source, even containing essential B vitamins.

Greek Yogurt It’s rich, thick, delicious, and nutritious.

Greek yogurt is an optimal health food because it’s high in protein, low in fat, and packed with calcium.

If you've been slathering on lotion to moisturize . . .

Try this: "As Winter comes, the humidity in your home drops," Dr. Lawrence Samuels, chief of dermatology at St. Luke's Hospital in St. Louis, says. "The air actually pulls moisture from your skin to improve the environment." To combat this, you'll want to reach for a moisturizer with a little more weight. Bring back your body butters, they'll moisturize deeply and keep your skin hydrated as temperatures start to plummet.

If you've been using a toner as part of your skin care regimen . . .

Try this: Many toners contain alcohol, which, paired with the wind chill, can cause extra dryness. Switch out your alcohol-containing varieties for ones free of the ingredient.

If you've been opting for loose waves . . .

Try this: Fall is a great time to work with sleek updos.

A tight, low bun adds a touch of glamour to any style.

Work a hair wax over your style to tame any fly-aways.

Looking for something a little more laid back? Pull your hair into a high topknot.

If you've been covering with tinted moisturizer . . .

Try this: For more coverage, bring your foundations back into rotation. Foundation keeps things smooth without the heavy feel. Just allow your moisturizer to dry before layering on the foundation, and don't skimp on the SPF; you need it in the colder months, too.

New wet bar with beer tap anchors extensive basement remodel

Commentary by Larry Greene

Existing basement: Located in the Cobblestone Lakes subdivision in Zionsville, this 2009-built home had blueprint for an unimprovement finished basement.

According to the homeowner, “We wanted to create a fun place with a little more room for entertaining and a space for our family.”

Design phase: “Our goal with lower level remodels is to make them look like an extension of the rest of the home,” said the designer. “We began by creating a welcoming stairway entry by removing a wall and adding a new landing.

Wainscoting and decorative trim were among the architectural details added for a finished look. The homeowners had specific needs for the basement, including a bedroom/exercise area, a full bathroom, a storage area and an entertaining/family space. Placement of these functions was based around flow and the location of windows and utilities.”

Wet bar details: According to the owner, “We knew we wanted a wet bar that had more of a bar feel rather than a kitchenette. We ended up adding the half wall to give more table space.

Other details include extra storage space under the wall shelves and an arch over the TV.” A built-in beer tap was installed on the wall shared with the utility room, where an old refrigerator was converted to hold a connected keg.

The island countertop was made large enough so it could serve as a comfortable table for sitting and playing games, and as a serving island at parties.

Other details: The use of vinyl plank flooring in the hallway and main gathering space was a practical way to add to the pub-like look. The half wall breaks up the long narrow room into more

comfortable spaces and provides more seating for watching TV. The granite cap on top of the half wall continues around the basement perimeter to create a convenient drink and snack ledge.

Finally, a built-in audio/video system lets music and TV play throughout the space.
